That's the exact reason I don't announce it. Bricks and fields going everywhere isn't anyone's idea of fun. I think it'd be fun. Why not splurge your extra earnings on one last day of messing around? I'm sure when it's that close to the reset no one will be playing seriously enough to care that there are that many fields and bricks. There would be more people on as well, in order to just spend off the last of their money. This, in turn, will lead to more people playing during the start of a reset. Notice how population in HS now is less than 25 people most of the time, with maybe 5 being bots and 15 afk. Most people have lost the motivation to play at all. I myself, as well as many other people I've noticed, have been playing a lot more in other zones, at least until the reset. But how many of these people will actually come back to HS? I'm sure even you Dr Brain will be able to anticipate a reset reasonably within at least a margin of a week or so, give or take a few days. Why not tell people about it? I think hiding the reset date is hurting the zone more than benefiting it.
